What Happens If Shiba and PEPE Burn 50% of Their Tokens?
When I see people commenting on my post about whether PEPE and Shiba Inu can make them rich, it feels like deja vu. So many are comparing these coins to Bitcoin, confidently predicting they’ll hit $0.1 or even $1 if 50% of the supply is burned. Honestly, I think that’s wishful thinking. These coins have an astronomical supply—over 400 trillion tokens—and burning half of that won’t magically create value. Burning tokens only works if there’s enough demand to balance the reduced supply. If they burned half the tokens overnight, it could actually destabilize the market. Prices might spike briefly, but the lack of liquidity could scare away serious investors. To me, it’s like cutting a cake into fewer slices—the pieces look bigger, but the cake itself hasn’t grown.
I also notice how people get caught up in the low price of these tokens and start dreaming of life-changing wealth. But the math just doesn’t support it. For PEPE or Shiba Inu to hit $0.1, they’d need a market cap bigger than the entire crypto market. And $1? That’s not just unrealistic—it’s impossible. These are meme coins, and their very nature makes such prices out of reach. Unlike Bitcoin, which had scarcity and a revolutionary purpose, these coins thrive on hype and speculation, not long-term fundamentals.
That said, I think there’s potential for short-term gains if you’re careful. I see these coins as speculative plays, not long-term investments. If you’re getting involved, focus on short-term opportunities. I’d set clear profit targets, watch the market closely, and cash out when the time is right. Timing is everything because what goes up fast often comes down just as quickly. For me, it’s about being realistic and not risking more than I can afford to lose. These are memes, not miracles.
